The new map is created and appears in the Navigator. In List view, the
functional map is at the same level as the executable map. In Composition
view, the functional map appears at a level beneath the executable map that
calls it.
To create input and output cards in the functional map
1 Create the required input cards. Each input card represents a single data
object.
The TypeName of the input card in a functional map must coordinate with the
input argument(s) in the map rule on the executable map. If there is more
than one input card in a functional map, ensure that the input card types
correspond to the order of the input arguments.
2 Create the required output card. Each output card represents a single data
object.
Note Functional maps have only one output card.
3 Enter map rules to create the output of the functional map.
4 Save the functional map.
5 Build the executable map.
6 Save and run the executable map.
